He arrived outside the final insect chamber.
Within the chamber, a foul stench permeated the air, causing Lu Xuan's head to spin and his senses to reel with mild discomfort.
Inside were two grotesque insects, their bodies pocked and oozing green pus, emitting toxic fumes with each breath, unmistakably venomous creatures.
Following the instructions left by Zhong Jingshan on the talisman, Lu Xuan retrieved several already prepared venomous insects from his storage bag and tossed them into the chamber.
Soon, information about these two venomous insects flashed through his mind.
[Heart-Eating Venom Beetle, a fourth-grade demonic insect, containing various potent toxins within its body, it delights in consuming various poisonous fruits and insects, with extremely potent toxicity that can affect every part of the body including the skin, blood, and mind. If not careful, there may be fatal dangers for mid to late Foundation Establishment cultivators.]
[Despite mutual disgust, they seek companionship at a high price.]
"...?"
Lu Xuan fell silent for a moment.
What does this information mean, implying that I should help them reproduce?
As a renowned spiritual plant master of the Sky Sword Sect, how could I assist such ugly creatures in breeding?
Of course, if the price is right, nothing is impossible...
According to Zhong Jingshan's instructions, the pair of fourth-grade Heart-Eating Venom Beetles were currently in the pre-breeding stage.
Zhong Jingshan had spent a lot of effort trying to obtain offspring from the Heart-Eating Venom Beetles, but had yet to succeed.
"They must have lost interest in each other due to spending too much time together," Lu Xuan thought to himself, deducing from the information.
At this point, several rare and unusual insects in the chamber had all emerged.
There were the fourth-grade Demon Blade Black Mantis, born assassins, tirelessly spinning silk every day, and the easily irritable third-grade Condensed Jade Spider, which were numerous in number, gathering together not inferior to the common third-grade demonic beast, the Yin Fire Ant. There was also the Seven-Star Lapis Bug, capable of extracting treasures like glass sand, and the Heart-Eating Venom Beetles in the pre-breeding stage.
Two fourth-grade, two third-grade, and one superior in quantity second-grade, this gave Lu Xuan a further understanding of the strength of the sect's true transmission disciples.
The strange insects left in the insect valley alone represented a considerable force, not to mention those carried with him.
Many of them were still in the process of growing up, and when fully grown, they could easily deal with an ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In addition to the insect chamber, he didn't need to spend much effort managing and feeding the insect valley outside, just ensuring basic operational order was enough.
For the next month or two, he spent most of his time in this insect valley, raising various kinds of strange insects.
In the thick darkness that seemed almost palpable.
Lu Xuan took out more than a dozen different insects and threw them into the chamber from various angles.
Dark energy surged violently, with a continuous light popping sound, extremely coherent and smooth.
In the blink of an eye, a giant black mantis emerged from the darkness and appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
The mantis wielded a pair of large serrated blades like a saw, and the deep black compound eyes on its head occasionally glanced towards one side of its forelimbs.
At this moment, the demonic blade black mantis' forelimbs were stuck with thick, foul green liquid that couldn't be shaken off no matter how hard it tried, which made it, always indifferent, show a hint of impatience in its eyes.
"This performance was good, achieving fifteen consecutive strikes without any omissions in between. Unfortunately, among those dozen or so demonic insects, I hid one that's quite disgusting."
"After killing it, it will burst out viscous green liquid that will stay on the artifact for a long time and can't be removed."
Lu Xuan looked at the demonic blade black mantis still shaking its forelimbs, with a smile on his lips.
"This is also a small lesson for you, letting you know that battles rely not only on instincts but also on many factors that need to be controlled in your hands."
He said earnestly to the demonic blade black mantis.
The fourth-grade strange insects already possessed high intelligence, and the giant black mantis occasionally nodded its small head, indicating understanding.
What Lu Xuan just did was based on a small game from his previous life and specially arranged for the demonic blade black mantis.
At first, he only put in two or three demonic insects, threw them into the chamber, and ordered the demonic blade black mantis to kill them before they landed on the ground.
If it couldn't be done, the living demonic insects would be released from the chamber, and the dead ones would become food for the demonic blade black mantis.
During this time, he kept increasing the number, adjusting the throwing force, and adding various strange angles, just to satisfy the deep desire for slaughter within the demonic blade black mantis.
Today, there were even more new tricks, deliberately bringing in a purely disgusting demonic insect to teach it a small lesson.
Such a little test made the demonic blade black mantis significantly closer to him, no longer the initial aloof appearance.
In the chamber where the Condensed Jade Spiders were located, he had been observing the signs before the White Jade Spiders spit silk, such as thoughts, body signals, behavior patterns, etc., in order to find the specific rules of their silk spinning, to ensure greater productivity while avoiding disputes.
But still, there were no clues, no discoveries.
In the chamber of the Yin Fire Ants.
Thousands of Yin Fire Ants gathered into a tall giant, under Lu Xuan's control, the giant constantly changed various forms, satisfying the small wish left by his previous life.
Seven-Star Lapis Bug Chamber.
Lu Xuan had long been accustomed to the existence of the glass sand, picking it up and feeling a strange sense of harvest. Every time before entering the chamber, he even had a little expectation.
As for the pair of Heart-Eating Venom Beetles, there had been no movement for a long time, still in the state of mutual disgust.
In addition to raising and caring for these strange insects, Lu Xuan also occasionally returned to his own peak to cultivate spiritual plants and check on various matters.
Although the spiritual plants on the peak couldn't achieve fine cultivation every day for now, the growth status of each plant was very good, which made Lu Xuan feel much relieved.
One day, he suddenly had an idea while cultivating the Nirvana Orchid, and collected about half of the pink miasma released from below.
Back in the chamber, he took out a white jade bottle from his storage bag, removed the bottle stopper, and poured the pink miasma generated by the Nirvana Orchid into the chamber.
"The color tone of this chamber is too monotonous and heavy, waiting in it for a long time without any mood, let alone having those thoughts."
"Today, I'm here to create a romantic chamber for you two, guaranteeing to make you full of interest, fighting day and night."
Lu Xuan chuckled, looking at the increasingly dense pink miasma in the chamber, feeling confident.
The miasma released during the growth of the Nirvana Orchid could stir the inner desires of cultivators and demonic beasts, a natural and powerful aphrodisiac. Perhaps it would have a miraculous effect on these two Heart-Eating Venom Beetles, who were currently lacking interest.
Sure enough, two days later, when he came to the chamber again to feed the pair of venomous insects, he witnessed a shy scene.
The two Heart-Eating Venom Beetles were tightly pressed together, forming a character. (Sounds similar to 'kun')
As they moved in and out, there were occasional bursts of foul green venom spraying out, splashing all over each other. When it fell into the pink miasma, it caused a sizzling sound.
"It seems that atmosphere matters the most."
Lu Xuan savored the scene with relish, sighing.
